AHSA

The AHSA was formed in Melbourne in 1959 by a group of people interested in recording and promoting Australian aviation history. The first issue of the AHSA Journal, now called Aviation Heritage and a Newsletter was also distributed to members. Aviation Heritage is the published record of Australian aviation history researched by members and others and submitted to the editor.

AHSA is Australia’s oldest established Aviation Historical Society and has members in all states of Australia and worldwide.
